The one time I choose to cut corners.
I was adding a teaspoon of dextrose directly to the bottle and the instant I added my brew (I was making cranberry apple cider) it immediately started bubbling and would bubble over. (Like adding baking soda to vinegar, it was that fast.)
So... fermentation wasn't complete? It had been two weeks.
So I have bottle bombs?
I decided to bottle them which ... maybe I shouldn't have. Some them bubbled over and I jammed to lid on. Some off them I just tried to rush before the bubbled over. My seals aren't clean. Some had excessive three inches of foam in head room.
I bottled one bottle with no sugar just to see what will happen.
So .... fermentation not complete? Or some other reason I can not fathom? Bubble bombs? or flat because they bubbled over before I capped?
